Eternal Inflation

Intended to summarize the present knowledge of multiverse cosmology, along with the measure problem, this book is appropriate for both academic researchers and graduate students. In an ever expanding universe, pocket universes are likely to arise with surprisingly different physical properties. This book delves into such considerations with mostly statistical methods while Winitzki (physics, Ludwig-Maximilians U.) goes on in chapters seven through nine to report on his new models of measure prescriptions and formalize them mathematically through random-walk inflation and a landscape model.
